Or, at least, Today's "technology editor" Charlie Brown.
As with Stephen Fenech, I've contacted Charlie Brown via Twitter asking for justification of his sales pitch.
So far, not a peep.
I'm told that Stephen and Charlie are good buddies. Not that I want to suggest collusion, but let's face it, I'm suggesting collusion. Are you being paid for this Charlie? In cash or in kind, either way is a problem for journalistic ethics. If you're not being paid, then you're clearly too gullible to be a technology reporter. If you are being paid, then you're clearly unqualified to be a reporter of any kind.
I can't think of another reason. gullibility or cash?
I have, of course, Sidewiki'd Charlie's site.
